Expect the Unexpected

From changing plans to sore body parts, you never know how it’s going to go

This is the view from our front window. It’s awesome that the sun is shining.

I’m thrilled to be sitting in my recliner, looking out our front window at the sunshine and the gulf. The breeze is so slight that trees are barely moving. It’s quite a change from yesterday. The weekend was also much colder.

Friday was a laid-back day to recuperate. We didn’t do much of anything.

On Saturday we met the gang for lunch. There aren’t very many restaurants in Palacios. Our leaders chose a seafood and steak restaurant, or so it said. The big Valentine’s Day Parade was taking place, and the folks in the area also celebrated the Chinese New Year. Apparently, the cooks at the restaurant had a lot of work to prepare to join the parade, so the only food they were offering was fried.

So much for having a ribeye. 🙄 I’m not a seafood fan, but I do enjoy fried shrimp with lots of tartar or cocktail sauce. Tommy ordered the shrimp, and I went for the chicken wings. Sadly, neither was anything to write home about. Our batting average for good restaurant meals in Texas is abysmal!
